bummed. please help!

So.... I'm 25 1/2 weeks and just weighed myself. I have already gained almost 28 lbs!!!! I'm feeling so down bc I have 14 1/2 weeks to go! I feel like there's no telling how many more pounds I will pack on! I really wanted to stay within 35 pounds, but now I'm thinking there's no way I could even stay within 40! Has anyone else gone through this? Will I put more weight on in the beginning and then slow down in 3rd trimester? My diet could be better, but honestly it's nit that bad. I also try to stay fairly active bc I WAS in great shape pre-pregnancy. I just feel like my belly is even huge for what it should be at 25 wks. This is my first baby. Thanks for any stories and advice. Sorry to be such a debbie downer.

If you are eating healthy and staying fairly active I wouldn't worry about it. Your body is going to gain what it needs to gain and you can worry about it after you have the baby. Just enjoy your pregnancy. Also, with my first I only gained like 5lbs in the third trimester, everyone gains at different rates.

I gained almost 60 pounds with my baby I just had in June (my first) and I was kinda freaked out about that number. But, I was pretty active before and during pregnancy. I think everyone gains based on a variety of things (size of frame, genetics, etc.). I am happy to report that 11 and a half weeks post partum, I only have 15 pounds left to lose, and I have not tried that hard yet (fairly healthy diet, walking most days, and exercise DVD here and there). So I think if you are eating pretty healthy and keeping active, I wouldn't worry too much about the number on the scale :) Hth!

I truly believe your body has its own plan when it comes to pregnancy weight gain and some factors are out of our control. That being said, counting calories for a week or so isnt the worst idea, bc maybe you are eating a little more than you realize. With my first, I gained very little the last couple, months. Im now 24wks with my 2nd and feel huge already! You will lose it aftet the baby comes, just not over night, if you are determined. I feel for you. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing these stories ladies. Angela u r not a downer. This is my first and I feel the exact same way. I'm 16wks and have gained 10-15lbs already. Last night I dreamed about exercising to be smaller again. I was about to ask weight loss questions until I read yours. You are definitely not alone. I'm just going to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy:-)
